curiosity TO learn their object induced me
TO remain IA couple of days in seeing dis

attention was first drawn To the wolves

and chased the animals together. They
would then await the notions of an ap-
parent leader. who would run into the
bunch, cut out n calf, when the rest would
rush to him, help throw and hastily tear
out its cntrails. Thus mangled they
would leave ii, separate, and run swiftly
TO surround the now fleeing cattle, again
round them up, single out another calf,
throw and leave it in dying condition.

showed fight they would be instantly ham
stringed and left thus disabled.
In no instance did the wolves seem dis
posed TO further mutilate these old ami
mails. This maneuvering was repeated
time and again, until the wolves must

these varuints seemed TO be inspired by
the teaching Of the author, Music hath
charms to soothe the savage breast" for
they would raise hideOus howl, which
effect on the cattle was not satisfactory,
for they would trail out and try 10 get
away, when they would again be chased

SECTIONALISM.

The first subject upon which I wish to say
something to you to-day is the danger of
sectionalism in this country. The danger of
the country being divided into parties by
geographical lines. This danger was foreseen
at the very foundation of the government,
and never were more forcible, nay, pathetic
words spoken to any people on this globe
than were spoken by the Father of his Country,
George Washington, in his Farewell Address,
in which he warned the American people
against the dangers of sectionalism, and
especially against political parties being
formed upon geographical lines. The same
idea was enforced by Andrew Jackson in his
Farewell Address, and among the splendid
specimens of oratory that we find in the
works of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster,
there are none more touching, none more
forcible, none that appeal to our patriotism
and our good sense more than what they said
in urging upon the attention of the American
people this same danger which Washington
was the first to point out.
Now, my friends, have we not had enough
experience to show that these warnings were
the warnings of wise men? Have we not, in
this very generation, passed through one Of
the greatest civil wars that ever devastated
any portion of Gods earth7 And does not
every one know that however many causes
may have excited that lamentable and ter
rible struggle the spirit of sectionalism was one
